Knowing how versatile cauliflower is in replacing grains in recipes, I thought I would try it as a polenta alternative. I am pleased with the results! This Cauliflower ‘Polenta’ recipe contains both vegetables and protein, making it a great snack and a perfect addition to a salad forĀ lunch or a light supper. It can be flavoured according to taste – adding oregano for an Italian seasoning, or paprika for a Spanish twist. Serve it with Sacha Inchi Drizzle, Basil oil or a dairy free Pumpkin Seed and Basil Pesto Sauce.
